Xiaomi started updating old Mi 8 Lite and new Mi 11 Lite 4G to MIUI 12.5

It is expected that in August Xiaomi will release a new version of the proprietary MIUI 13 shell, but until then smartphones

have yet to receive MIUI 12.5. Now the turn has come to Mi 11 Lite 4G and Mi 8 Lite - simplified versions of the flagship Mi 11 and Mi 8 families.

Who updated

Mi 11 Lite 4G is a recent model thatdebuted on the smartphone market at the end of March with MIUI 12 firmware based on Android 11 and is still not sold in all countries. Now the MIUI 12.5 update has been released with build number V12.5.3.0.RKQMIXM.

True, the software assembly isat the “stable beta testing” stage. But in the near future, Xiaomi should begin distributing a stable version - unless, of course, problems arise during testing.

In turn, Mi 8 Lite is quite oldThe device was released in 2018 and came with MIUI 9 on top of Android 8.0 Oreo. The smartphone has already received MIUI 10, MIUI 11 and MIUI 12 with Android 9 Pie and Android 10, and now it’s the turn of MIUI 12.5. Unfortunately, without Android 11, but only on top of Android 10.

The update is currently available in China with build number V12.5.1.0.QDTCNXM. It is being distributed gradually and should then be released in other countries.

By the way, this is expected to be the last update for Mi 8 Lite - the gadget will no longer receive MIUI 13.
